Write Time

There isn't a write time, location or reason to scribble down word pictures. Inspiration comes any-time of the day or night. Unless, you, the writer, set a specific writing time. Work, busy life, can get in the way of the write time. Simply, pencil-in a calendar date to write, and stick-to-it.

You could be at a store, gathering or reading the paper. The write time pops up through someone stealing at a store. Store employees notice the person, and take necessary actions.

You were several feet away, lots of drama/confusion.

How will you write about it? An article? Fiction? It's up to you.

Or, you prefer to write about the missing recipe from a family gathering?

Change of hands time for a family recipe, from one generation to a younger generation. The newly typed recipe had been laid in a draw. The recipe disappeared? Who took it?

Would you write short or long fiction?

No? Your choice is to write about a news article?

The write time offers no reason to share pictures in words. Still, many times, writers have reasons to write about an incident, life.

A situation that touched a writer, often, will push him/her to show-case the experience. Also, he/she writes about what happened to others.

It spills-out in the form of an essay, perhaps. It depends on how the writer wants to share information.

Finally, there isn't a write time to share thoughts on events, life. It depends on you, the writer.

About Me

Marcella Glenn is a freelance writer who has written news reports,
worked in an office, reviewed movies, published a newsletter and had her
novel, "Grave Street House," published. She, too, is a Writing
Consultant as well as a Personal Coach.

She
has tried to go down some of life's other paths. A few paths were a
mail-order business, the publishing of a pen-pal newsletter and selling
plastic-ware. Only, she was back writing before realizing what she was
doing.

She'd critique titles,
paragraphs, news reports, that no one submitted to her. She'd stop
herself, eventually. Marcella Glenn seemed to be enjoying the act of
writing. This is how she knew writing was more than a hobby.

Let
it be a lesson in your life too. Is writing calling your name? Or,
acting? Teaching? Are you interested in engineering? Have the courage to
go for your dreams. Simply, believe in yourself.
